DAY GARAGE AND HOUSE
William Day worked on Mine Hill (Squak Mountain) during the boom times of Issaquah's mining days. In 1914, he built a house and garage for his son, Frank, and Frank's new wife, Alberta. Their daughters, June and Alice, were born in the house.
World War I took Frank to Alaska as a truck driver. To provide added income, Alberta converted part of the sweeping front porch into a bathroom and turned the spacious home into a boarding house. She lived in this home until her death.
The garage is #46 on the Gilman Village map. It was enlarged after its move to Gilman Village.
